Ever Bilena Fierce Red Lipstick

My original plan is to buy a MAC lipstick, particularly torn between Ruby woo and Russian Red, but my conscience told me not to buy it, "kuripot ka! Wag kang bibili ng mac lipstick". hahaha that's why I ended up on buying this instead.

I love red lipstick, but I notice that I don't have that much reds in my lipstick collection, so why not try the red lipstick from Evebr Bilena. My first purchased in this matte collection was the Ever Bilena in Scarlet which has orange undertone.

I am actually planning to get the love that red, but the SA told me that it was oos so opted to this one.

It's Fierce Red. Of course it's matte which I love.

It is a true red with a little bit of blue undertone which is nice because it brightens up your face and doesn't make your teeth appear yellowish.

The picture above looks like a bit of magenta-ish, I don't know why but it is actually a true red in person. Below picture is taken with flash, and I've been wearing the lipstick for more or less 2 hours.

I really love the lipstick. It looks sophisticated. It may be drying to lips (most matte lipsticks do) so make sure to exfoliate it first and apply lip balm prior to applying this. 

Overall, I really love this shade. But I still wanted to try ruby woo and russian red, someday I will buy myself one. :) hehe Sana!

WET N WILD MEGALAST LIPSTICKS

I purchased these lipsticks last year and ngayon lang ako makakapagpost about it. Well, by the way I really wanted to try these lipsticks since a lot of bloggers have been raving about it, so instead of buying a MAC lipstick I opted for 5 pieces of wet n wild matte lipsticks. I bought different shades, since It is not reasonable for me to buy lipsticks with almost the same shade, I mean what's the purpose? So here are the 5 shades that I got from Makeupholics:

It retails for P145.00, much cheaper than the mall

I hope my Zenfone5 captures the true colors of these lipsticks, I haven't took shots from my digital camera, but I will make sure to provide more pictures soon .

I didn't have the chance to swatch the Cinnamon Spice because it was my friend's lippy. So here's the swatch of the lipstick on my arm. I have yellow-ish + olive-ish skintone.

My friend says that the Cinnamon Spice is almost similar to cherrybomb except it has brown undertone while the latter has red.

Some girls hate the formulation. So here's my take. The lipstick has matte formula so it will help to stay the color on your lips. But if your lips are prone to drying and chapping, you really have to moisturize first or exfoliate prior applying this.

Pigmentation: It's amazing! You won't get the same pigmentation from local lipstick brands. They are true to the colors as what you can see in the tube. It's opaque and it offers different shades from pink - red - plum.

Scent :  It seems like not all the lipstick has the same scent, the wine room smells like saliva (ew!) same with my wet n wild lip liners, but the other has candy like scent. I don't know but here is my take, the wineroom is the most easiest shade to apply and the glidiest lipsick among the 5 shades. I think the "thing" that they put to make it creamy is the one that makes it smells like that. I don't know, comment below if you have the same observation.

Formulation : Just like what  I said earlier, it has matte finish, but some of the shades glides on better like the wineroom, cherrybomb and spotlight red, I mean they are more creamy and doesn't have streaks or whatsoever unlike the bright shades like the purty persimmon and don't blink pink. It will dry your lips after 2-3 hours but for wineroom it looks okay, but if you will apply lip balm over your lips, the chapping will somehow disappear or becomes minimal. Still, better than Ever Bilena's matte lipsticks.

Staying Power : Magaling! They last for 4 hours with minimal fading specially when you eat. It isn't transfer proof nor smudge proof but they last longer than other lipsticks brand we have here in the Philippines.

Packaging : Well "madaling masira". You can't complain daw kasi it's cheap lang talaga sa U.S.

So overall, the only thing that I hate about these lipsticks is that the dryness and the packaging. But I still use them everday. Specially the wineroom. It is best for work or the thing called "MLBB". I will post next time with additional pictures "me" wearing the lipstick. So stay tune.

Thanks for reading!

Ever Bilena Matte Lipstick in Dusk

Since I can't constantly post an update here on my blog, might as well post once a week instead of abandoning this forever. LOL Much better also if I'll make my post straight to the point so you guys won't get bored when you visit this blog.

So today, I am going to share with you my current favorite lipstick from Ever Bilena Matte Lipstick line. Maybe some of you already tried them, but for the benefit of those who haven't tried it and for those who are looking for a dark lipstick that will suit our Filipina skin tone, this shade is so perfect!

It's the shade DUSK. 

A lot of my friends were asking me if what lippy I was wearing on this picture, and it's the Covergirl Smoky + Exel Matte lip cream which  requires more time of application. But with this lipstick, less hassle.

This is my current favorite lipstick shade. This makes my teeth appear whiter (I have extremely yellowish teeth :'| ) . This may dry your lips so apply lipbalm underneath this or if you want to remain its matte formula, you can apply lipbalm then wipe it off with a soft cloth or exfoliate your lips prior to applying this lipstick.

This retails for P165.00.

I intentionally rotated the pictures. Tehehehe

It looks darker in personal than in photos, here's some other pictures of me wearing the lipstick:

How bout you, what is your favorite shade from EB Matte Lipstick?

Lorea'l Colour Riche Balm

Indulge your lips with Colour Riche^® Balm. This tinted lip balm provides a hint of luscious, kissable color, smoothing lips instantly and for a full 8 hours of continuous hydration. Lips are softer and more supple all day long—and keeps conditioning even after it’s been removed.

 I've only tried using few items from Lorea'l brand. I can count on my fingers the lorea'l products that I currently have. I actually love Lorea'l, the reason why I only tried few, is that "they quite expensive for me" lol (kuripot eh). So I am very glad to have this lip product from the said brand. Lorea'l always have the gorgeous packaging of their lip products. Like for example this lip balm that I got from Pretty Thrifty Shop.

Oh, the first time I saw this; it was like, love at first sight! Who wouldn't fall in-love with pink and gold? This kind of color combination and packaging is something that you always want to see in your grooming kit.

Available in 8 wearable shades.

The only downside is that, the lipstick cap is not sturdy enough, as you can see in this picture, it broke. Nonetheless, I still love this!

Scent: Let's talk about the scent. Whenever I have new lip product I am always fascinated with its scent. I love scented lipsticks or lip balms. As for this one, it was like heaven scent! I mean, it has a usual scent of lipbalm but it has something that makes you giggle. I wish I can find a perfume version of this.

Formula: Well, lip balms must be hydrating and moisturizing without the heavy or thick feeling on the lips. This lip balm is super hydrating and moisturizing. There is no matte lipstick that this lip balm can't moisturize, even the excel lip creams! Hands down to its moisturizing formula, it keeps my lips supple, smooth and luscious!

Swatch:

Really love that this lip balm is tinted!

And that's it.
I am not really sure if how much is this product here in the Philippines. It cost around $7.

Have you tried this lip balm from Lorea'l?

Been MIA for a long time.
Hope I can still give you helpful entry next time.

Lovelots,
Jen
